The Bollywood’s Bhaijaan is facing several death threats and also is on the target list of gangsters; however, he is ‘Salman Khan’ after all. So, he finally opens up about how he is dealing with all these gangsters’ things.

Mumbai Police provides Y+ security to Salman Khan

Amidst these death threats, the ‘Tiger’ of Yash Raj’s spy series has been provided with Y+ category security by the Mumbai Police. The Maharashtra government assigned security escorts to the superstar after the actor received a threat letter from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

While interacting with a news channel, he said, “Security is better than insecurity. Yes, security is there. Now it is not possible to ride a bicycle on the road and go alone anywhere. And more than that, now I have this problem that when I am in traffic, then there is so much security, vehicles creating inconvenience to other people. They also give me a look and my poor fans. There is a serious threat that’s why there is security.”

‘I have to be lucky once!’

Salman said, “I am doing whatever I have been told. There is a dialogue ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ ‘they have to be lucky 100 times, I have to be lucky once’. So, I got to be very careful.”

He continued, “I am going everywhere with full security. I know whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what you do. I believe that (points towards god) that he is there. It is not that I will start roaming freely, it is not like that. Now there are so many Sheras around me, so many guns are going around with me that I am myself scared these days.”
